Chapter 138 The Origin of Heaven and Earth
The aftershocks of the explosion in the ancient abyss gradually subsided, leaving behind only an enormous, bottomless pit that seemed to lead straight to the deepest hell.
At the edge of the pit, most of the once majestic mountain range has been neatly cut away, leaving a smooth, mirror-like surface that reveals the colorful mineral veins inside.
The surrounding mountains and rivers were shattered, and the earth looked as if it had been turned upside down by a giant, leaving behind a scene of devastation.
The spatial rift slowly closed under the self-healing power of the laws of heaven and earth, like a wound scabbing over, but the process was extremely slow.
From the edges of those cracks, tiny fragments of space still occasionally burst forth, emitting a piercing tearing sound.
Although the raging earth, water, fire, and wind were not as rampant as before, they still formed a chaotic area above the pit, where the four basic elements collided, annihilated, and were reborn, depicting the scene of the beginning of heaven and earth.
It will probably take tens of thousands of years for this region to fully recover to its former state.
The destructive power of the self-destruction of the Primordial Golden Immortal has been deeply imprinted on the foundation of the laws of this world, far surpassing that of ordinary natural disasters.
Zhen Yuanzi stood silently in the void, his black Daoist robe remaining perfectly still amidst the chaotic spiritual energy. With a flick of his sleeve, an invisible force lifted the Qiankun Cauldron that was suspended in mid-air.
At this moment, the Qiankun Cauldron, having lost its master, had completely suppressed its spiritual light and was no longer resisting. Its ancient body appeared unusually silent, with only the gray-white finger mark still standing out.
"Finally, it's unclaimed." Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly, sensing the gentle fluctuations emanating from the Qiankun Cauldron.
This innate treasure has finally fallen into his hands intact. Although its origin is damaged, as long as it is refined and repaired, it will surely become a great help to him in the future.
The crimson clouds dispersed, sealing off the Four Symbols and arriving beside Zhen Yuanzi. The crimson glow around him had dimmed slightly, clearly indicating that maintaining the seal and resisting the aftershocks of the self-destruction had taken a considerable toll.
He looked down at the devastation below, his gaze sweeping over the still-collapsed mountains, the raging subterranean fires, and the raging gales. He couldn't help but sigh, "That old thief was indeed decisive and ruthless, even dragging this entire world down with him before he died. This explosion has caused countless deaths and destroyed the earth's veins. But alas—it was all in vain before you, my fellow Daoist."
His tone carried a hint of regret. A Primordial Golden Immortal who had traversed countless eons in the primordial world and was born from a chaotic demon god, had been annihilated in this way, without even the chance to reincarnate and cultivate again. It truly made one sigh at the ruthlessness of the Great Dao and the terrifying nature of the cycle of cause and effect.
Zhen Yuanzi remained calm, his gaze deep and still as an ancient well, as if killing a Hunyuan Golden Immortal was merely a trivial matter.
"The struggle for the Great Dao is like this. It's either him or me who dies; there's no room for mercy. Now that the cause and effect are settled and the hidden dangers have been eliminated, let's go back. It's time to completely refine this cauldron."
After saying this, Zhen Yuanzi did not set off immediately.
His gaze shifted to the massive core of the explosion, where, in addition to the raging energy turbulence, a unique and pure Daoist aura permeated the air.
That was the most primordial Dao imprint and energy essence left behind after the fall of Qiankun Daoist—the primordial power belonging to the Chaos Demon God "Qiankun".
He stretched out his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently grasped at the void.
"Buzz—"
The void trembled, and countless tiny specks of light were forcibly extracted from the core of the explosion, from the shattered spatial rifts, and even from fragments of time.
These points of light present a chaotic color, neither black nor white, as if countless miniature universes are being created and destroyed within them, containing the supreme mystery of defining location and controlling space.
These points of light converged above Zhen Yuanzi's palm, eventually forming a fist-sized mass of chaotic energy that constantly changed shape.
Within the airflow, one could vaguely see the sun, moon, and stars orbiting, with earth, water, fire, and wind flowing, as if a complete world had been condensed into a small space. This was the "Origin of Heaven and Earth" that the Daoist of Heaven and Earth had condensed through his lifelong cultivation.
"What a pure and refined Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!" Hongyun exclaimed in admiration as he sensed the primordial aura.
Although he did not cultivate the Dao of Space, once he reached the Hunyuan Realm, all laws were interconnected, and he could also feel the supreme principles contained within them.
Zhen Yuanzi stared at the Origin of Heaven and Earth in his palm, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
This primordial essence was indeed extremely precious to him. He focused on studying the "Earth Chaos Scripture," using the earth to support all things and then evolve chaos.
The Dao of "Heaven and Earth" involves space, direction, and scale, which is an indispensable part of perfecting the chaos within him.
If he could fully comprehend it, it would not only elevate his spatial abilities to a higher level, but also provide immeasurable assistance in understanding the "containment" and "definition" characteristics of chaos.
He carefully sealed and stored the primordial energy, preparing to slowly comprehend and refine it upon returning home.
After doing all this, Zhen Yuanzi turned his gaze to the devastation below.
Although he was not a kind-hearted person, as the Lord of the Earth, in charge of the Book of Earth, maintaining the stability of the primordial earth veins and managing the mountains and rivers was his duty, and it was also in line with his fundamental principles.
This place was ravaged because of his battle with Qiankun Daoren, so he naturally couldn't sit idly by.
"With the earth's veins as the guide and the Earth element as the foundation, all things are renewed, and vitality is reborn!"
Zhen Yuanzi's voice was like a booming bell, resonating deeply with the boundless earth beneath his feet.
The phantom of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" above his head reappeared, this time not for defense, but radiating a gentle yet powerful will.
As he activated his magic, the earth's veins across the entire western continent seemed to be awakened.
Centered on the ancient abyss, a deep and resonant rumble came from beneath the earth, stretching for millions of miles, as if a giant dragon were turning over underground.
Thick, dragon-like, and incredibly condensed streams of Xuanhuang earth vein energy surged forth from all directions, as if receiving a king's command.
These ley lines of energy are not chaotic; rather, guided by the exquisite writings of the Earth Book, they are like the most skillful weavers, beginning to repair this broken land.
As the pure essence of Wutu was poured in, the huge cracks began to slowly close, and new soil and rocks were generated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Above the collapsed mountain ruins, a spiritual light flickered, and a new mountain outline gradually rose, though not as majestic as the original, it was more exquisite.
At the bottom of the huge crater created by the blast, spiritual springs began to emerge, and spiritual energy began to gather again.
The chaotic spiritual energy in the air, caused by the energy shock, gradually calmed down under the soothing and calming influence of the Earth Book's Daoist rhyme, becoming gentle and orderly again, like a trickle of water, merging into the repairing earth veins and nourishing this land that had survived the calamity.
The raging elements of earth, water, fire, and wind were gradually calmed down by an invisible force, returning to the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth.
Hongyun wasn't idle either. He activated the auspicious energy of the Fire Cloud Cave, mixing it with his own Four Symbols Origin, transforming it into specks of life-giving light rain that fell.
Wherever the light and rain passed, the scorched earth was revitalized, and tender seedlings of spiritual plants broke through the soil, their tenacious vitality beginning to sprout anew on this desolate land.
The two Primordial Golden Immortals joined forces, one leading the reshaping of the earth's veins and the other assisting in the revival of life, achieving extremely high efficiency.
In just a few hours, the scene that had looked like the end of the world was greatly changed.
Although it will take a long time for nature to nurture a full recovery to the pre-war state, at least the earth's veins have been reconnected and stabilized, the spiritual energy is no longer violent, and the wounds on the earth have been effectively contained and repaired, laying the foundation for rebirth.
Given time, this place might turn misfortune into fortune and give birth to a new paradise.
Sensing the spiritual energy of this place beginning to revive and the earth's veins returning to stability, Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly.
"Now that this matter is settled, let's go."
He flicked his sleeve and nodded to Hongyun.
Without lingering, the two transformed into two astonishing streaks of light, one a deep yellow and the other a crimson red, like bolts of lightning tearing through the sky. In an instant, they traversed endless mountains and rivers, leaving behind the ancient abyss of ten thousand valleys that had just witnessed a battle of primordial chaos and sped towards the direction of Longevity Mountain in the east.
Behind them, the sky in the western wilderness remained vast and boundless, with clouds drifting and rolling, as if nothing had ever happened.
Only the slowly healing shattered landscape and the lingering, faint, mournful Daoist aura of the fallen Primordial Chaos silently bear witness to the thrilling chase and counter-chase that had just taken place.
We witnessed the complete fall of an ancient chaotic demon god, and we also witnessed another solid step taken by the Lord of the Earth on the path to the supreme path.
